Good Fairly best for portable audio and video

I was looking for a small alarm clock that could charge my phone. It does the job really well. The companion app lets me fall asleep and wake up to the music I choose on my iPhone, and it's pretty easy to use. Get this if you're looking for a smaller alternative to the many other iPhone docks, but don't buy this if you're looking for amazing sound quality.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Waiting time too long

IHome App Advanced Dock/Charger

IHome products complement Apple devices. I chose this product for its compactness and functionality. It offers the service I was looking for. However, the company does not provide adapters if needed. Adapters are available, but you have to research them yourself. For the most part this is a good product and I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Minor Repair

DON'T BUY LOSS OF MONEY

I bought the system and was happy with it at first but after just 2 days the numbers became unreadable and the alarm went off and the ipod turned off and I can' read don't look at the digital watch to see what's going on, or discard it. do not buy this item. I just ordered a Bose iPod system. I hope I get the results I've always gotten from the Bose systems I've bought in the past. very disappointed. They should take it off the market!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • I will add later

I'm disappointed in the product because the buttons don't even work with the iPhone connected and the ihome app. Also, there is no instruction manual included. Although this is a display product I don't understand why it can't have instructions and why the buttons don't work. In any case, it would be unfair to the seller (apparently an honest person) to give a bad mark.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • No form required

Terrible, don't buy

I bought this product because I wanted to try the advanced features of the app. The app crashes frequently, is more confusing than a regular alarm clock, and worst of all, the alarm clock is unreliable. Sometimes the alarm goes off, sometimes not even though I set it to 7 days a week; Other times, the alarm sounds but the speaker volume is so low you don't even hear it. This alarm clock is a great concept but poor execution. In addition, the speaker is very weak as it is only on one side…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Poor set

Audio Docks Worth Every Penny

I bought this after seeing the G4 lying on the gachet. It looked very cool and I needed an alarm clock. This I Home is pretty easy to use. It has some features to help you with almost anything you could wish for. If you don't want to use alarm sounds, you can wake up to any music from your iPhone. The speakers have a very good sound. The design is very good for a bedside table. First you need to download the iHome app for iPhone (free download). My only criticism is that you can't listen to…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Something Different

Good for Ipod: Portable Audio & Video

I bought this watch, it works great with the app if you have an extra 2 min. Before bedtime, install it on the dock and configure all the settings. But if you forget to press the ihome button on top (the bright light stays on), you won't hear the alarm. I discovered this twice the hard way and was late for work. The dock allows you to play and charge the iphone4, but it keeps showing that it is not compatible with this device and sometimes turns it off. If you use this dock and want to wake up…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • negative impression

It looks complicated, but the features are neat.

iHome App Advanced Alarm Speaker for iPhone and iPod (Black) Love the sleep maps you can use for different days of the week (work, weekend, nap. You can customize your own). I still don't understand the social media features. I don't get updates when I go to bed or wake up, so I may have set them up incorrectly. Sounds pretty good for a small device with a single speaker, and it's good that you can have both a hardware alarm and a software alarm. So if you put your iPod away, the alarm setting…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Stylish and well designed

After reading some of the other reviews I was a little apprehensive but I tried a few other speaker/clock combinations and was disappointed. So I decided to try this device which is designed to work with iPhone especially the app. First, this clock is stylish and eye-catching and looks great next to my bed. The dock is completely open and not in a cutout, which is nice because it works even when my phone is in a thick silicone case. Plus, unlike many docks, it supports the back of the iPhone…

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • Zero
